This meal prep detox salad combines quinoa, edamame, kale, cabbage and apple with a delicious sesame ginger dressing. It’s packed with plant-based protein and perfect for traveling or an office lunch! Vegan + gluten-free.

I talk about my love for salad all the time, but today’s meal prep detox salad is a little different for a couple of reasons 1. It’s 100% plant-based and 2. It’s packable so it’s perfect for an on-the-go lunch.

Whether you’re planning a summer road trip and want to be prepared with a healthy option to enjoy on the drive or simply looking to pack a nutritious lunch for the office, this crunchy detox salad is going to be just the thing to pack in your tote bag.

Two glass storage containers layered with almonds, apple, edamame, quinoa, cabbage, kale and avocado. A small container of dressing is also in the container.

It’s loaded with fresh, crunchy cruciferous veggies (like kale and cabbage) that are packed with nutrients. Along with all the veggies, there’s a trio of plant-based protein toppings – quinoa, edamame and almonds.

The apple chunks and sesame ginger dressing add a hint of sweetness while the creaminess from the avocado ties the whole salad together perfectly. I don’t know what it is about this combo, but I’m hooked and will definitely be making this salad again and again.

Ingredients measured out to make Meal Prep Edamame Salad: kale, almonds, water, quinoa, avocado, apples, cabbage, edamame and sesame ginger dressing.

Ingredients Needed

  • quinoa When it comes to cooking quinoa to use for salad, it’s the same process as normal, but I like to make my quinoa a day in advance, let it cool and chill it in the fridge overnight and then use it for the salad the next day.
  • green cabbage – it adds a crunchy texture and is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber.
  • kale – pairs really well with all the other ingredients and is a hearty leafy green that holds up well. I used curly kale, but feel free to use any variety.
  • edamame – if you’re new to edamame it’s a green, immature soybean that is high in plant-based protein (1 cup has about 18 grams), fiber and vitamins. It’s also a good source of healthy fat and antioxidants while being low in calories and cholesterol. I recommend buying shelled edamame for this salad so you don’t have to worry about de-shelling it before making the salad. Just boil, drain and enjoy!
  • apple – adds a nice sweetness and some more crunch to this salad! I love using Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples but feel free to use your favorite variety.
  • almonds – provides healthy fats, more plant-based protein and fiber. I used raw almonds, but feel free to use roasted and salted almonds if that’s what you have on hand.
  • avocados – for some creaminess and more healthy fats.
  • sriracha – this is optional, but I found that a bit of sriracha pairs so well with everything in this salad.
  • sesame ginger dressing – the star of the show here and adds so much flavor! This dressing is made by blending olive oil, rice vinegar, tamari, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic, ginger and black pepper together until smooth and creamy.

How to Make

Cook quinoa: Rinse and drain quinoa. Add quinoa and water to a saucepan and bring the water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and let cool for 5-10 minutes.

Cook edamame: If you haven’t already, cook edamame according to package instructions.

Blend dressing: Make dressing by adding all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blending until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

To serve right away: In a large bowl add cooled and cooked quinoa, cabbage, kale, edamame, apple and almonds. Toss to combine. Pour dressing over salad and toss again. Portion into bowls and serve with avocado and a drizzle of sriracha if desired.

To meal prep: Add all ingredients into a glass container in rows with the dressing separated. Once ready to enjoy, drizzle on dressing, mix well and top with avocado and sriracha if desired.

Customize Your Salad

  • Vegetables: Swap out some or all of the veggies depending on what you have on hand. Some ideas that would pair nicely with this salad: corn, red onion, cucumber, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, bell peppers, green onions and radishes would work well.
  • Greens: You can swap the kale with your favorite leafy green of choice, but kale is my preferred option especially for meal prep as it holds up best over a few days!
  • Herbs: I love adding fresh herbs to my dishes. They really elevate the flavors! Cilantro pairs well with the ingredients in this salad, but Thai basil, parsley, chives or lemon balm would also be great options.
  • Protein: This salad is already packed with plant-based protein, but if you want even more you can add tofu, tempeh or chickpeas. These air fryer chickpeas would be a nice addition for more crunch.
  • Seeds & nuts: Feel free to swap the almonds with another nut or seed like pistachios, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds or cashews. All will be delicious and add a good amount of protein!
  • Dressing: I personally love this sesame ginger dressing for this salad, but here are some other ideas that would pair well with this salad: chili almond dressing, peanut dressing or garlic tahini dressing.
Three glass storage containers layered with detox salad ingredients: almonds, apple, edamame, quinoa, cabbage, kale and avocado. A small container of dressing is also in each of the containers.

How to Meal Prep

As I mentioned above, this is the perfect packable salad for on-the-go lunches so it’s great for meal prep! Plus, there’s no reheating necessary so you can bring it camping or on a road trip. This salad will stay fresh for 4-5 days in an airtight storage container. I would just suggest keeping the dressing separate and not adding the avocado until serving.

To meal prep: Add all the ingredients to glass storage containers with lids in rows with the dressing separated. Once ready to enjoy, drizzle on the dressing, mix well and top with avocado and sriracha if desired.

  1. I’d love to win this because I take my lunch to work everyday and I’ll be heading back to school soon so it’d come in so handy! I have all the ingredients for your sesame ginger dressing so I’m going to give it a try next week. Looks delicious!

  2. My lunches always consist of a series of snacks and packing multiple container makes me feel like a bag man at the end of the day with all the empties rattling around in my bag. This would make for a nice change!

  3. I’m luckily enough to be able to eat lunch at home, but my husband’s not. He would love to take filling salads for lunch but the containers are always too bulky and there is limited space in his office fridge. This looks like the perfect solution!! I make a riff on Stella’s greek quinoa salad (we make frequent trips to Richmond when we can!) that he loves! I add either chicken or falafel patties for extra protein and baby kale that’s marinated overnight with some greek dressing. I load it down with fresh cucumbers, bell peppers, pickled and raw onions, olives and feta cheese. I’ll also add some toasted pita/naan chips for a little extra crunch.

  4. I bring my lunch to work every day and I always prep them at the start of the week. They’re great for the first half of the week but towards the end, when things have just been sitting for a few days, they aren’t quite so good so this sort of container sounds perfect!

  5. I love sweetgreen’s “Beets Don’t Kale My Vibe” salad, but they only make it for a few months of the year. I’d totally recreate it in this container; it’s kale, roasted beets, while rice, pecans, goat cheese, and balsamic dressing.

  6. I would love to win these containers for my lunch each day at work. I think they would also be great for my kids lunch as well.
    I love Caesar salad or even a garden salad with chicken.

  7. I would love to use these for my husbands lunches, he tends to eat a little unhealthy if I’m not packing lunch for him.

  8. What a great idea! I would first make this crunchy detox salad. Lately I have been craving asian dressings to this would be great. thanks! You are the expert salad maker.

  9. I love the idea of a salad container where you can separate all the parts in one container! I’m a teacher so I have to pack my lunch every day and it can be a pain to have so many different containers for one salad. Plus I love that these won’t link!

  10. I would make a Japanese ginger carrot dressing with a spiralized vegetable salad. I am always on the lookout for new and innovative forms of fridge storage so would love to try this!

  11. This may sound strange, but I’ve been adding cottage cheese to my lunch salads. I mix spinach or kale with cottage cheese, an apple, roasted potatoes (and whatever other veggies are in the fridge), chia seeds and balsamic vinegar.

  12. This salad looks awesome and that container would be the perfect thing for me to pack my lunches for school. I already have so much to carry with me it would fit perfectly in my backpack.

  13. This looks so good – cannot wait to try this recipe! Really happy I discovered your blog and Instagram – you post so many great things!

    1. Oh and I’d love to win this Rubbermaid set so I can take my meal prepping game to the next level! I would definitely try out this crunch detox salad in the containers first!

  14. Mmm this sounds so yummy! I would love this salad set because I pack my lunch for work everyday and it seems super convenient! I’m not sure if this is technically salad, but I would love some pasta salad hah!

  15. I’d love to use the containers to pack my lunch! There’s plenty of food trucks near where I work but I try pack my lunch most days. I love taking salads but always struggle with what containers I have to pack them in. I love kale salads massaged with dressing, always with feta cheese and chicken usually, or whatever else I have in the fridge.

  16. How great is this for lunches on the go?! I would love to win for my husband who takes a lunch everyday. He would absolutely love it. He is trying to eat lighter for lunch and breakfast and this would be awesome.

  17. I don’t know what looks prettier? The salad or the glass containers?! LOVE them both! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  18. I am excited to try out this recipe! It’s been pretty challenging making substantial changes in my diet and striving to consciously eat healthy. However, this page has provided me with numerous menu ideas to keep me on my toes and eating better. This salad will definitely be getting a test run for my lunch. It would be awesome to win the Rubbermaid Containers to pack it all in, too!

  19. I would love to use this with any spring mix salad!!! I love this mix but unfortunately if you add anything at all in the container the salad gets so wilty by lunch!! And the hassle of packing a bunch of little containers is way too much work for me.

  20. I would love to win these containers for my mom who works tirednessly as a teacher. I could totally see her making this salad and using these containers. Hope to win! 😉

  21. These look so cool! I’ve recently been enjoying meal-size salads much more through both of your salad challenges! My favorite mix right now has to be spring mix, edamame, shredded carrots, chickpeas, radishes, and a lemony dressing! If I have sesame sticks, I add those, too.

  22. Those containers looks awesome! I back my lunch everyday, so something like this is right up my alley.

  23. I certainly want to try this recipe. I’ve been on a restricted diet for about a year now to get healthy, and this fits right in with my meal plans. Also, I work multiple jobs, so bringing something nutritious that can be made in advance is always a necessity. I definitely need this container in my life! By the way, in my year of getting healthy, so far I have lost 42 pounds, decreased my high blood pressure, lowered the amount of insulin I use by 75% and was able to discontinue use of the insulin pump. Healthy can be achieved.

  24. First, thank you for this awesome giveaway. The containers will be perfect to take on road trips and on those busy mornings when a grab and go breakfast is in order.

  25. Looks so good! I’d love to win the set. I’m starting grad school next month and want to pack my lunches. Perfect for to-go meals for a busy schedule. I would use them for salads and snacks. 🙂

  26. Thanks so much for sharing this! Can’t wait to try the salad and love the idea for the container! Since I take my lunch to work everyday, finding the perfect container has been a struggle. This looks like a great one!

  27. I just read about the Brilliance line yesterday, and now here’s a chance to win a starter set — thank you! I pack my lunch for work most days, and it’s usually a salad with several add-ins, so this would be perfect. I think this set could work really well for my kids’ school lunches and snacks, too.

  28. I’m a big fan of the cruciferous blend at Trader Joe’s! I’d love to win this container so I could challenge myself to make a new salad every single day in it!

  29. Mmm looks delicious! I’m always looking for ways to jazz up kale. I would sub the apples for peaches or cranberries due to allergies:s

    Meagan

  30. This is the perfect item from this mom on the as well as for my kids to take healthy options to school.

  31. I love the looks of this recipe along with the looks of the container!
    It is always a challenge to take salad ingredients to work. I will be making this crunchy salad and dressing!

    Best, Sabrina

  41. I’ve been looking for the perfect container for my salads so I can get my homemade dressings in there easily, but without having to pack so many containers or having the dressing poured on the salad for too many hours. This design looks so clever, and what is great I see that it’s a deep container perfect for tossing the salad. Total win. Your detox salad looks absolutely delicious, so I would start with that one! Maybe throw some summer berries on top, too!

  42. I’d love this so much – I am constantly on the go because of my job and also have a ton of dietary restrictions (dairy, wheat, eggs, most oils and nuts) so this would be outstanding to pack salads that do not get soggy and allow me to bring multiple things with me. It’s very hard to try to dine out with my restrictions so this would be a life safer! It’s so cute too! Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  43. I pack a lunch to bring to work everyday so having good containers to put it all in is key. Not to mention, every time I make lunch for my boyfriend, my supply seems to decline because they don’t seem to make their way back home. #Boys

  69. I want four of these! All of us at my office are incorporating plant-based foods into our diets and bringing salads to work. I have a backyard garden and I can’t wait to pop my own tomatoes and kale in it. I love the versatility of your crunchy,\ packable salad – greens, grains, a fruit or two, nuts and seeds — with the dressing ready to go in a sealed container. Perfect.

  75. I’d love this container! I pack my lunch everyday and frequently bring a salad. I love the idea of keeping everything separate until it’s time to mix. This bag is so cute too! Hope I’m lucky 🙂

  81. Would love to win this because as a graduate student starting my internship, I find myself packing my lunch daily and always looking for healthy options to keep me going throughout the afternoon!

  82. Guaranteed leak proof? Sign. Me. Up.
    Summer is on it’s way out, I’m all about adding the strawberries and blueberries to my salads while they’re so tasty!

  83. I would use this all the time- I love packing salads for lunch! Lately my favorite toppings are goat cheese, a peach, and balsamic vinaigrette 🙂

  84. This salad looks perfect for getting my hubby to eat healthier! He’s buying into eating “like a bird” more and more as I try out new salad recipes. I’d love to win the container because it’s great for pre-making salads to take in our RV. I’d rather be sitting enjoying the outdoors than in the RV prepping dinner!

  85. I’d definitely do an arugula salad with watermelon, feta, red onion, and nuts with a balsamic dressing. Yum!

  86. I so want one of these. If I don’t win it, its going on my Chanukah wish list. I love packing salads and the different sections on this are perfect. Like that you can separate things like nuts or things I don’t want to get mushy until time to eat!

  87. I would love to win this link set to help keep me on track with healthy eating at work! I would bring a Mediterranean salad for sure – greens with crunchy chickpeas, hummus, marinated red onions and fresh veggies with a tahini drizzle and maybe a kofta in there too!

  88. I would love to win this set because as a Master’s student who is constantly in the go and rarely in the same place for lunch two days in a row, I have to get creative in how I pack my lunches, which are almost always meal sized salads. These containers are amazing because they keep everything separate but you don’t have a million different containers to deal with. I would totally pack this crunchy detox salad or EBF’s blueberry and corn salad with maple balsamic dressing, which I am currently loving and making at least once a week!

  89. I have been making A Mediterranean salad with olives , 3 bean salad, & hummus – this would-help keep everything separate til I am ready to eat Bye bye soggy salad!

  90. This looks delicious! I would love to use this to bring some of Costco’s amazing farro salad to work. I’m lazy when it comes to my salads and grains 🙂

  91. I would love to win this because I’m working on packing my lunch everyday to help with my health & my budget. I would pack this salad because it looks so good & filling!

  92. These containers look awesome! I’ve been looking for a way to pack my salads (without making a huge mess or having soggy salads like I have been!)

  93. What a delicious looking salad! I’d love to win this container so I could pack strawberry, pineapple, blueberry and spinach salads for work!

  94. I would love to win these! Working 12 hour shifts as a nurse, a hearty salad and multiple snacks is a necessity! Knowing I’m covered in the food department always motivates me for the long work day. I love to keep it environmentally friendly too!! 🙂

  95. As a busy high school math teacher, having a reliable Tupperware set is key. This set would make it easy to transport around my lunch from class to class, be spill free and encourage me to continue to pack healthy and well-rounded meals.

  96. This detox salad looks amazing! I would love to win this Rubbermaid to-go container because salad is my jam! I think I could eat it for every meal! Especially if packing it with me would be made easier! I’ve been loving your corn, blueberry and chicken salad lately. It is so summery and satisfying! Keep creating amazing salad recipes- they are much appreciated! ❤

  97. Love this set! Between school, clinical and work it’s the perfect on the go organizer to keep me eating healthy! Super easy and useful!

  98. I’m a college student and about to start my first year off of any meal plan, cooking all for myself. I have a history of restrictive food habits but am currently in great spot with recovery–trying to continue that momentum and find easy ways to stay nourished throughout the day! Would love to try these!

  99. I think I’d Ben more motivated to make a healthy lunch if I had great containers! Lately at home I’ve been loving spinach salads with feta, apples, dried cranberries and balsamic dressing.

  100. I so need this container! Packing my salads into 17 different containers to accommodate my greens, toppings, and dressing is excessive. I look like I’m going on a weekend vacation, but nah- it’s just my lunch! ????

  101. I would absolutely love to have this salad container to easily pack and tote my salads each day to graduate school! I have been looking for the perfect container with separate compartments and this is exactly what I’ve needed all along! Can’t wait to try this yummy salad also ????

  102. As a nurse, working 12 hr shifts at the hospital is energy draining and leaves me packing healthy lunches and snacks so I have a reliable way to refuel. I would absolutely cherish this set of plastic ware in my work lunches! ????????

  103. Spill proof?? I drive my scooter to work and most other places so to have a sectioned, spill-proof salad container sounds like a dream (usually the bumps on the road shake things around and I get spills)! I would love containers like these because I’m on the journey of understanding what’s healthy for my body right now. Recently I learned some foods that I need to stay away from and basically I should be sticking to a Whole Foods based diet for a while. These would inspire me to create new things all the time, and I love salads! Would probably start by loading it with my favorite grilled chicken salad with lots of veggies and citrus balsamic vinaigrette – simple, yummy vinaigrette I came up with that uses only fresh pressed garlic, fresh squeezed orange juice, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and S&P to taste! So simple and everyone loves it!

    Sorry this message is so long 🙂 Lastly, I’m pretty sure I’d use that tote every day because Summer is my favorite season and I wish it was year-round! Thanks for always sharing amazing recipes!

  104. This looks so good! I’d love to win because I’m new to meal prepping and trying to eat mindfully and healthy every day – and packing a delicious and healthy lunch is helping me get off the ground. This set would help so much! I’ve been making a corn and blueberry salad recently and am loving it. Thanks so much!

  105. I’d love to win because I’m a SAHM and I’ve been looking for a good way to prep a healthy lunch ahead of time so I’m not as tempted to just reach for chips when my kids are napping.

  106. I just bought a bunch of Little lunch bento boxes for my daughters first day of kinder and was totally eyeing these for myself! What a perfect way to have a lunch ready to assemble and enjoy – especially for a busy mom who often goes all day on coffee and corn chips (yikes). I would probably pack this with my favorite salad : honey curried chickpea salad with apples, raisins, almonds and spring greens!

  107. I pack salads for lunch almost everyday, so would love to win these awesome containers! I made this salad recipe this week and it’s so delicious! I added chili garlic sauce instead of sriracha – so yum

  108. I have salad every day for lunch and always struggle with how to pack it! Dressing makes the greens soggy and drowns out topping flavors, :9 this Tupperware looks like a life saver!! Would absolutely love to add it to my daily routine!

  109. I would love to use this! This would be so useful during my last year as a graduate student in counseling because I am constantly going and coming from school, work and my internships! I would love to use these for my tempeh and tofu salads!

  110. This salad container is genius! I love keeping my salad simple with arugula, garbanzo beans, tomato, blue cheese, and a lemon vinaigrette.

  111. I’m trying to focus on bringing my lunch to work instead of buying it each day and these containers would be a huge help! I’m all about any way to make it easy so I’ll stick with it!!

  112. I am a first grade teacher and I bring my lunch to school every day. Salads are my favorite, but definitely the most difficult to transport. I always end up bringing a big bowl to mix everything in and then I have to worry about washing that at school. Also, finding something that doesn’t leak is a must!! I agree with you, traveling multiple to meal prep with would be amazing. Also, I’m a fellow VA resident, so it would be amazing to win a giveaway from my favorite VA based blogger ☺

  113. I have been looking for a container like this forever! I’m 14 weeks pregnant and always bring a salad and many snacks to work. It’s hard to find perfect containers, but this would fit the bill!

  114. Ooh! Love this as a “grown up lunchbox.” I am a teacher and we have a chef at school who makes all the meals for he kids. As teachers we are welcome to eat the meals, too! While it saved me a ton of time and money last year eating what the kiddos did, it was not always the healthiest and was too repetitive. I have vowed to bring my lunch this year and this salad carrier is the perfect thing to get me motivated ???????? Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to try that sesame dressing!

    1. Also, that little snack saver would be so perfect for my after school snack! A fruit or veg and healthy fat would keep me from mindless bingeing when I get home and tide me over until I can make dinner ????

  115. I’ve been taking your “salad every day” challenge to heart, and a big part of that is meal prepping and planning ahead. I pack lunch every day for work (my coworkers KNOW not to invite me out ????), and I look forward to my colorful lunches. I would use this to pack a vegan hippie bowl from the Thug Kitchen! Lots of ingredients plus dressing that needs to stay separate – perfect for the brilliance containers to tackle!

  116. I’d love to win this set because my husband + I are on this new journey toward healthy/plant-based diet and meal prepping is our #1 struggle and be priority as we both work outside the home! Keeping good ingredients and efficient, easy to use products on hand is KEY for my lunch packing success 🙂

  117. I’m about to move to start my first job and I think this would be so perfect for preparing for my new busy lifestyle! I would totally make this salad but add carrots and substitute cashews!

  118. This salad looks great! I love handy lunch packing items! I had a salad box and used it all the time, then I lost it. So, I could use a new one and I have to say, this looks way better than the one I had!

  119. I would LOVE to win this great giveaway! I recently bought my first place and am always trying to be healthier. Prepping and packing my meals (any meal!) are what I’d like to think of as two of my “mid-year resolutions”. And unfortunately, reusin the only 2-3 matching pieces of Tupperware I own has not been the easiest 🙂

  120. I would LOVE to win this set because it makes your food look so beautiful and inviting! It shows off all the wonderful colors of your packed lunch, and I especially love the built in dressing container. I always bring my whole dressing bottle to work and then I either forget it or someone else uses it ???? #needthis

  121. What an excellent product!!! And Rubbermaid – actually attainable 🙂 I’m heading back to work for another school year and this would be excellent to help make bringing salads to work easier!!! When you work in Special Ed for 40 hours a week… anything that makes lunch more seamless is greatly welcomed 🙂

  122. I would love to win because I love meal prepping and organizing my food in containers, so this is absolutely perfect!!

  123. I would like to win the Rubbermaid salad container because I make salads ALL the time for work. I am a nurse and I work 12hr night shifts so it’s all about packing the salad right so it doesn’t get soggy after sitting there for 7-8 hours before I can dig in on my lunch break! I have one of the round salad containers right now that keeps your toppings seperate but it’s rather bulky and oddly shaped. Definitely not as intelligently engineered like this Rubbermaid one! I’m also all about packing my lunches quickly and efficiently so I think this would be the perfect container for the job! 🙂 if I got this salad container I would make my favorite Greek chicken Salad to fill it up, would be the perfect combination!

  124. I would love to be able to pack a lunch in this that I know would be secure and not a big sloppy mess before I get to it. I love almost any salad with salmon and avocado on it. They are my favorite two ingredients.

  125. I love taking salads to work but can never find the right container- this would be perfect to bring to eat at my desk!

  126. My teacher lunch box ALWAYS has at least 6 containers. Hay. Are. Separate. Which is a mess when you are trying to eat, grade, meet with others, help a child, run around school, etc. hahah Having this set will help keep everything together and make teacher lunches MUCH easier!

  127. Wining this would change our lunch game!!! My husband works 12 to 14 hour days and finding ways to pack his food that will allow him to eat on the go is a real struggle, so he will just go all day without eating. What!!?!? I know!! Kills me! He turns 40 Sept 9th and has a goal of losing 15 lbs and I’m trying really hard to help him, this could be a huge help in getting him set up for success with one packaging tool instead of 5, like normal and annoying him. Lol

  128. Oh how I would love to win this salad set! I eat lunch at my desk every single day and this would make my life so much easier! Salads are my jam and I love everything from a classic Ceasar Salad to a Spiralized Veggie Salad with Quinoa!

  129. Hi! I would love to win to make it extra easy and fun to pack my lunch. I do this every day and mostly bring different types of salads. This would be an easy way to pack it so it stays crispy! Plus, I start teaching again soon, so it will be an extra treat to start the school year off right! Thanks a bunch.

  130. I am a teacher and will be going back to school soon. One of my goals is to eat healthier, and this set looks PERFECT for inspiring me to pack a healthy salad every day for lunch! My husband lost his job recently and so we are on a tight budget. I would love to win a set like this!

  131. I would love to win this set because this school year I will be working full time! I will be the school receptionist in the am and assistant teacher in the pm. So I will need to start packing a lunch. I’ve been on a healthier track lately, and this would be super helpful!
    Thanks

  132. This would be the perfect container for me to bring a healthy lunch. I’m usually on the road around lunchtime so I either grab a few small things (almonds, banana) or I end up at fast food, which I just don’t want to do anymore. Thanks for the opportunity! Can’t wait to try this dressing and share it with our new women’s wellness group!

  133. I’m definitely trying to eat more salad. These containers would be great for my latest favorite, greek salad with grilled chicken!

  134. Hello. I’m so glad I found your site. I’ve been going through your recipes for a couple days, picking out ones that I’d like to try.

    I prepped this salad for my work week & it was delish! I chopped the apple in the morning so it would stay fresh & heated the edamame and quinoa up separately. Kept me full and satisfied.
